Dakimbrell Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Do you need good mud? Try mixing tile grout (pick the color you want) with clear gloss polyurethane paint. The more grout you add tends to make it flatter. However, you can coat it with the gloss polyurethane. Dak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Interesting idea! Never thought of that, even though I've worked with tile grout before. Wow, nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bell Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 I'm old school, I guess. Just get some garden variety dirt, put it through a fine tea stainer to get the extraneous organic matter and lumps out, mix it either with dullcoat or gloss coat, depending if you want wet or dry "mud", and apply. An option is to mix it with diluted white glue to avoid any possible damage to undercoats of paint/wash, although this may necessitate some gloss and/or dull coat after it dries. Finish "dry" mud with a dusting of appropriate pastel chalks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakimbrell Posted September 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 All that works if you have the right kind of dirt. Oklahoma has a heavy clay content that doesn’t take water well. That’s why I went to tile grout. Lots of colors, mixes well, and doesn’t shrink. Dak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
